  3. Charlize Theron

    "I had these big nerdy round glasses that I cannot believe my mother sent me to school with. I mean seriously. It just made every boy not look at me," Theron has said of her school days.

  5. Katy Perry

Megan Fox is considered one of the most ravishing women in Hollywood, but growing up, she tells Miami magazine: "I was never the pretty girl."

At 25, she's the face of Giorgio Armani beauty, but as a teenager, Fox says she was "abrasive" and "obnoxious," and that she felt like a "loner." Hard to believe she wasn't swarmed by guys ...

But Fox isn't the only ugly duckling who grew up to be a swan. "Transformers" babe Rosie Huntington-Whiteley told GQ, "I was really teased about the way I looked at school. I got teased because of my lips."

Katy Perry, meanwhile, paid the price for her curvy figure. "I had enormous boobs that I didn’t know what to do with, so I wore minimizers, which were not cute. Those thick-ass straps! I got made fun of for the over-the-shoulder boulder holder," she told Elle.

And Taylor Swift was famously bullied by "Mean" girls. "Junior high was actually sort of hard because I got dumped by this group of popular girls," Swift told Teen Vogue. "They didn't think I was cool or pretty enough, so they stopped talking to me."

    I hate it when celebrities talk about how they were bullied when they were kids! "Oooh, I was never the pretty girl..." Yeah, so what were you? The f*cking hot girl?

    "I'm sooo relatable! I'm just like you!" Yeah, whatever.

    Her words are more believable then others, since her "before" picture from when she was in grade school is all over the internet.

    believable picture grad school internet

    She had the same ultra doll-like & beautiful facial features, but her huge round dorky glasses did seem to overshadow her natural beauty. I could see that stupid kids would make fun of her for that xD

    I'm happy for all her success now though!

    Lol, that picture made her look hollywood geeky. Where there suppose to be 'ugly' with glasses until you take them off and they are cute.

    And I thought glasses like those went with the time.

    I think when actessess and singers say they were picked cuz they weren't pretty is just a pathetic attempt for publicity. They need the validation from the public to feed their egos.

    I selected Tyra Banks as the most awkward teen who became a beauty, only because I happen to be a huge fan of "America's Next Top Model." (The best reality TV show in the universe. Ever!) Actually, it really makes me want to barf whenever I hear a gorgeous female celebrity tell us how homely she was when she was young. I suppose it's just a backward attempt to get compliments on her current beauty. Really, almost EVERY girl goes through an awkward, even ugly, phase while growing up. Some ugly ducklings turn into swans, and others don't. I remember going through the growing pains of losing my baby teeth and waiting for my adult teeth to come in, and then having to wear braces for years to get them nice and straight. I can vividly recall being way too skinny, waiting for my boobs to get bigger, going bonkers whenever I got a blemish, wearing glasses until my parents decided I was ready to wear contact lenses, and all the other things young girls go through when growing up. The "stories" told by these female celebrities about what dogs they were while growing up are probably false, for the most part. I mean, I seriously doubt that a gorgeous gal like Miranda Kerr ever had an ugly day in her entire life. Besides, with all the medical innovations in the fields of plastic surgery an...

Besides, with all the medical innovations in the fields of plastic surgery and dentistry, ANYBODY with enough money can transform themselves from looking like ten miles of dirt road into a raving beauty. And really, it's the inner beauty that counts. Megan Fox may be a real looker, but she has a reputation as being not very nice, and she's dumber than a box of rocks.

    Not everything with celebs is precisely honest. What they say is coldly analized as to favor their popularity. And when it comes to feminine looks, the art of professional makeup & retouching do wonders & can be very misleading.

    Come on - all of them are gorgeous.

    Isn't it de rigueur for gorgeous women to have a story like this at the ready? But we forgive them because they are so hot. (Unless you are a women...then you want to choke the life out of them.)

    Being called tall, skinny, big forehead and had braces on her teeth had to be very devastating during her teen years. But, Tyra Banks is a "gorgeous" woman and very smart too!

    You hear it all the time, and I don't believe in probably all the cases of it being used. "I was ugly, I was made fun of, ...". Basically just trying to say that they haven't been treated special all of their lives.

    Meagan Fox saying she was abrasive, obnoxious and felt like a loner doesn't mean she wasn't pretty...but it does sound like she was bitchy. Maybe that had something to do with things.

    Yeah, what's the point in voting when there's no "before" photo. And anyway, the ones who say they were "sooo ugly" in high school conveniently turn out to be cheerleaders or what not.

    Just as the other guy said, with no before shot how can we know, her included. Oh yeah, how old was she during filming of "Teenage Drama Queen" ? Cause Megan looked pretty F'ing hot in that ! As far as the bullying goes it seems like the hotter you are in school, if you don't hang out with certain people, the MORE you will get bullied. That's what it seemed like when I was growing up anyway and I doubt kids have gotten any nicer. If you don't hang with them you are a threat to their status and therefore must be crushed.

    That is true but I can relate to what there saying I not trying to brag but back in school I was considered one of the hottest guys and I didnt follow the so called social system I hung out with whoever I wanted mostly the "unpopular" kids because I could relate to them more and I got flak for that, mostly behind my back though, I beat up a few kids so very few had the guts to say anything to my face.
